"Cute, in a good way Has a bit of an overall deja vu feel, but plucky and catchy enough to somersault their way through a fine if somewhat flimsy album."Reply
"An extremely fine acoustic album, one of Martyn's finest with songs that stay with you. Smooth and lovely vocals and production, tinges of jazz at the end that would unfold more in layter albums."Reply
"Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is ...""Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is dreadful with irritating high pitched vocals from Freddie. The rest is just scraped from the barrels of various solo lp's and a flip side of a previous single release. The title track and, I was born to love you, were originally recorded by Freddie Mercury on his solo LP, Mr.bad guy, both these versions are better than the earlier one's as they're not so poppy. Heaven for everyone, is a song Roger Taylor's band, the cross, recorded with Freddie on guest lead vocals, Queen re-made it, it's okay, but it's nothing special. My life has been saved, originally the b-side to the, scandal, single in 1989, is average at best. It's a beautiful day, is an okay opener of a previously unfinished song, while, let me live, was originally a duet with Rod Stewart, again, it was unfinished, here, it's just a mediocre gospel/rock track, although it does feel quite emotional with Freddie, Brian, and Roger all taking a vocal spot. Most emotional of all though is, too much love will kill you, which because of Freddie's situation is moving, although it does slip into a bombastic power ballad, it's still a good song. All in all, it's the best they could have done in the circumstances but if you're a massive Queen fan you'll probably find it a much more uneven listen than those who are not, as Freddie's vocals veer from his excellent and powerful early eighties sound to the weak high pitched whine of his last few years. Altogether, Just about acceptable. "[+]Reply

Working on a dream, came in lightning quick time, just 15 months after springsteen's last record, magic. Working, is lyrically everything that, magic, wasn't, it was without doubt the lightest album he had ever made. Outlaw Pete, opens the record, it's good fun, it almost sounds like Bruce is parodying himself. Elsewhere on the album, the sounds of the beach boys and The Byrds spring up. My lucky day, is a typical Bruce anthem, the title track is enjoyable, and Bruce even has a crush on a checkout girl on, queen of the supermarket. Standouts include, the celebratory, this life, the bluesy drone of, good eye, and the acoustic shuffle, tomorrow never knows. Sure, they're lightweight, but not as light as, surprise, surprise, which is just that, the most throwaway track Bruce had ever done, still, it's good fun. Kingdom of days, is a beautiful celebration of his and Patti's relationship. The last carnival, is a moving tribute to the late Danny Federici, who sadly lost his battle with cancer before the album was made. Federici's son, Jason, plays accordion on the track which is a kind of sequel to, wild Billy's circus story, from, the wild and innocent album. Working, closes with, the wrestler, written for the film of the same name, which Bruce deservedly won a golden globe award for. It's the end to a light but thoroughly enjoyable Springsteen album, underrated and overlooked. "[+]Reply
"On the group's sixth album Ten Years After are trying to renew their sound and approach - primarily with spacey intros and outros and a more widespread use of the acoustic guitar.

Generally, though, it is the familiar formula: a little bit of blues, a little bit rock 'n roll and a couple ballads.
With the acoustic guitar more in front, however, several of the songs start gently with the acoustic in the foreground, before the song gradually takes the more familiar form. This feature gives the album a lightness that is refreshing.
Alvin Lee is an excellent guitarist who, on this album, fortunately does not tend to play lenghty solos.
Lee is no great songwriter, but the album does contain quite successful compositions. "Here they come," "I'd Love to Change the World" and Hard Monkeys "(fine surprising chord changes here) stand out. Interesting is also "Over the Hill" which has received an unusual strings arrangement. Fine Mick Jagger-like vocals here.
"Let the Sky Fall" sounds like a re-working of "Good Morning Little School Girl", but otherwise this a fine track too.
"I've Been There Too" brings with its two chords change in the verses memories towards the Donovan classic "Season of the Witch".
Could well be considered as the group's most complete album."[+]Reply
"I love the Funky / Soul sound from this album with catchy dance tunes. The instrumentation is authentic and at the time of its release I was just starting to visit night clubs. I can play it today and have no problem reciting the lyrics."Reply

"Surrender" kicks off with four minutes of nonstop hooks and ironic lyrics. This is followed by a great arena-ready punch that just keep coming, summing up the strengths of their first two albums.From the onslaught this is a series of superbly crafted and cleverly arranged original songs."Heaven Tonight" has enough gorgeous harmonies, zealous melodies, two-fisted riffs and heavy-metal chords for any rock fan."[+]Reply
"I think this is The Pretty Things best album, alongside "SF Sorrow". This is a concept album of sorts, it's the anti-Sgt. Pepper. It has a dark pessimistic mood that incapsulates the late sixties decadence of inner cities."Reply
